i have known reverb units to die, though before you order a new one try testing it with the reverb unit from another amp that you know is ok, they are fairly easy to remove and connect up. Try testing the current with a meter, or changing the RCA cable as sometimes this can be pinched and broken while removing or replacing the chassis.

Perhaps it just has the red and black rca cables reversed, try swopping the cables around on the reverb tank it wont do any harm to try it.

Now I'm just making sure but you did adjust reverb knobs on the front of the amp right?

Did you unplug the foot switch jack and adjust from the front only just in case the jack in back is causing problems?

Ok thats enough stupid out of me.

Re: New DSL100 Reverb Won't Work/ HELP!!!!

i remember i checked a friends rever unit with a multimeter, donīt really recall how, but i did not get continuity on one end, then i installed his rever on my combo and it did not work, installed my comboīs reverb on his head and it worked, so he ordered a reverb, if i recall correctly they are like 25USD at tube depot
